It’s very different from what I learned at school! Students in my group are from different cities of Britain and their dialects (方言) are different too! Some of their accents (口音) are quite strong and they also have their own words and expressions.But it’s not the language that’s different and surprising. Before I came to England I had thought that fish and chips were eaten every day. That’squite wrong! I get rather mad now when I hear all the foolish words about typical (典型的) English food.I had expected to see “London fog”. Do you remember our texts about it We had no idea that most o f this ‘thick fog’ disappeared many years ago when people stopped using coal in their homes. But the idea to speak about the weather was very helpful. The weather in London is really changeable.On the other hand habits are different. People tell me what is typically British here in London is not always typical in Wales or Scotland. Local habits and traditions are not the same as what we knew.But what is ordinary for all British is that they follow traditions. Probably Britain has more living signs of its past than many other countries. And people have always been proud of having ancient buildings in capitals, big cities and the countryside.I will tell you more about Britain in my other letters.Love from Britain,Pete41. What does Pete feel about the English languageA. At first it was difficult for him to understand people.B. He can understand different dialects and accents.C. He can speak English better than others.D. People can’t understand his English.42. Typical English food _______.A. makes people madB. can’t be seen nowC. is always fish and chipsD. is not what he knew43. The British people like to talk about weather because ________.A. there is thick fog in LondonB. they like the weather in BritainC. the weather changes a lotD. it can be helpful44. What do you know about habits in Britain from the passageA. They are not the same in different parts of Britain.B. Habits in Wales and Scotland are typically British.C. There are no typical British habits in Britain.D. All that is typically British is in London.45. Which is NOT true according to the passageA. What he’s seen is quite different from what he’d learnedB. British people like to follow traditions.C. Pete had learned about Britain before.D. Pete doesn’t like his life in B ritain.（B）I’m confused these days. We are taught at home and at school that using violence (暴力) is the least civilized (文明的) way to solve problems. For example, last week I thought about hitting my friend for winning a beautiful shell while we were playing at the beach. I talked with him instead and we came to an agreement. If two adults had a disagreement, and if they used violence towards each other in order to win, is it all rightWhen two countries disagree, they often fight a war. Why is using violence not okay at home, at school, or in your country but okay between countries So many people have been killed because of wars, not only soldiers but ordinary people, even small children and babies. And refugees (难民) exist, too.A war is a great violence, like two people fighting over a shell, just much bigger. Adults say they are fighting wars in order to solve problems and make peace. But can you really “make peace” by killing so many pe ople I don’t think bombs (炸弹) can reach people’s hearts and change them. Bombs can’t create love and caring, and that’s what we need in the world. Why do adults use violence so quickly Why can’t they use their wisdom (智慧) and talk it overAdults might say that things are not that easy. But they are the ones that teach us to be kind, not to hurt people, and not to kill. Why don’t they act as what they say---A page from a 12-tear-old boy, Joshua’s diary.46. At the beach, Joshua ________.A. hit his friendB. won a beautiful shellC. played with a beautiful shellD. came to an agreement with his friend47. Joshua hates wars between countries because ________.A. he is afraid of warsB. he doesn’t understand adultsC. wars create death and refugeesD. wars are not the only way to make peace48. What’s the key to peace in Joshua’s opinionA. Love and care for each other.B. Don’t use violence so quickly.C. Stop using bombs in wars.D. Don’t hurt or kill people in wars.49. From the reading we can see Joshua wants adults to ________.A. learn from childrenB. be children’s modelsC. be kind to childrenD. teach children how to solve problems50. Choose the best title (标题) for the passage.A. Adults and WarsB. How to Stop WarsC. Wars Can’t Make PeaceD.

One of the first people who tried to dig a tunnel under the Channel (英吉利海峡) was a French engineer called Albert Mathieu. His tunnel failed.In 1881, Colonel Beamont and Captain English from Britain also tried to dig a tunnel. Their tunnel went six kilometers into the Channel. Queen Victoria stopped them and said it was dangerous to connect with France. It was a very good tunnel, and it is still there today.The new tunnel (ready in 1993) is, in fact, three tunnels-two for trains and a “service tunnel” for fresh air to go in and for men who take care of the tunnels. The tunnels are fifty kilometers long, forty meters under water. Forty kilometers of tunnel are under the sea itself. They are the longest undersea tunnels in the world. Trains travel through the tunnels at 160 km/h. People drive their cars onto trains and the trains take them through the tunnel. Each train takes 1,500 people and there are trains every ten minutes.A special radio station called Channel Channel has started, because it is impossible to receive normal radio signals (信号) when you are under the sea. The station sends news to keep people up-to-date with the ‘world outside’ while they are in the tunnel.56. What was people’s dream about England and FranceA. Napoleon could reach England.B. Napoleon could dig a tunnel for them.C. Albert Mathieu would succeed.D. England and France could be joined together.57. Which is TRUE about the tunnel building in 1881A. The tunnel went six kilometers from France.B. Tunnel-building was a dangerous job.C. The old tunnel is still under the sea.D. The queen agreed to the digging plan.58. What’s the t raveling like in the tunnelA. Trains and cars can travel at 160 km/h.B. People can travel by trains through two tunnels.C. It takes ten minutes to go through the tunnel by train.D. People can drive their cars or take trains through the tunnel.59. Channel Channel has started to _________.A. tell people what the date isB. send news about people in the tunnelC. tell people news about the outside worldD. receive radio signals of the outside world60. The passage mainly tells us _________.A. the history of the Channel tunnelB. the importance of the Channel tunnelC. it’s hard work to dig an undersea tunnelD. the people who tried to dig the Channel tunnel第II卷（非选择题共45分）四、动词填空（共10空，计10分）阅读下面短文，用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空。

There are many e-card websites that make it so easy to find the right greeting cards. They have greatly changed the way we send greetings to each other.Our lives have become so busy that we have limited personal time. These e-card websites have allowed everyone to easily share their feelings and emotions(感情) with the people they love. They contain(包括) plenty of greeting cards that can be used immediately. The users can choose any card they like, from festival greetings to birthday wishes. In fact, e-cards are perfect for any event. That’s why more and more people like to send e-cards. If the users are interested in making their own greeting cards on the internet, they can create a card within only a few minutes.Another benefit(好处) of e-card websites is that they have made it possible for you to send top quality cards to your beloved (心爱的) ones and surprise them with cheerful greetings. They allow you to send your greetings on a specific(特定的) date. So you can plan for the occasion(场合)when you want to send the card. For example, you can send your e-card on a certain day and then visit the person with some flowers the next day. This will surely create a good impression(印象)on the person you love.We have never forgotten the importance of saying sorry to our beloved ones. But sometimes we fail to do so because, we are not brave enough to face those we hurt. Some e- cards on these websites allow us to express our feelings in a more thoughtful way.Although some people still would rather buy traditional cards in the shops for the persons they love, especially when they want the cards to last a long time, more and more people are choosing to send greetings on the Internet.Title: Sending E-cards on the Internet（2010）阅读表达(共5小格；每小格1分。
